Star Coin 1 – At one point you will see a line of Goombas moving up a series of crystals. Enter the pipe and slide down the Coin Heaven until you see the third Star Coin at the end. Hop on top and use the Flying Squirrel Suit to get onto the platform on the right. Star Coin 3 – Super Acorn required! Between the Checkpoint Flag and the end of the level is a tall a narrow platform. Inside you will find the second Star Coin on top of a set of bricks. Star Coin 2 – As soon as you land from the first Star Coin, enter the first Warp Pipe you see. Alternatively, jump from the same location. With the Flying Squirrel Suit, glide over to the Star Coin on your right. Star Coin 1 – Hop onto the area where the second Flying Squirrel flies from. Use the links below to jump to specific level: 5000 points.Acorn Plains is the first world in the game so it’s unlocked right from the start. To hit the top of the flagpole, hole the run button down at the bottom, run, jump and hit the left edge of the fourth block, bounce to the top, run a bit on the top and then jump. You'll jump over a couple hills after this, and then come to a large hill right before the flag. The right block on the small platform is actually a star (pictured left), and the top question block of the pyramid is a power up. Just ahead, there is a small platform of two blocks, and four question blocks in a pyramid arrangement. The regular block below it is a coin block, so hit it until it's spent (pictured, right). Across the gap, there's a question block with a coin. Let the goombas drop down and hit it from below to claim your mushroom/flower. Just over the gap, you can spot another question block. Just to the right of this pipe is a hidden block with an extra life (pictured, right). This is the best route for speed runs, but the rest of us will probably want to stay above ground and claim some goodies. You can press down on the third one to reach a cache of coins and shortcut to the exit. Right at the beginning there's a few question blocks, one of which has your first mushroom (pictured, left), so nab it and get going.
